Hello everybody, welcome back to the show. My guest today is Jim Kwik. He's a world renowned memory expert, a podcaster and an author. Mastering a new skill, language or instrument can be an intimidating task. However, Jim has found hacks which can dramatically elevate your learning process. This has the potential to transform an arduous learning approach into a simple journey toward peak brain performance. Expect to learn if modern people's brains are actually broken. The biggest lies we are told about how to learn, how memory actually works, where people go wrong when trying to improve their recall, how you can increase your reading speed, ways you can get into a flow state more easily, the strategies you need to know to access a limitless brain and much more. This Monday, another huge Modern Wisdom cinema episode. I flew all the way out to Arizona a couple of weeks ago to record with the Dr. Jordan B. Peterson, his third time on the podcast and one of my favorite conversations. This was very, very special, a really awesome way to round out the year and nearly a two-year anniversary since the last time that he was on. That goes live this Monday, so get ready for that one.

One of my favorite purchases over the last two years has been my cold plunge from the team over at plunge.com. They are the gold standard when it comes to cold therapy. You may have heard Joe Rogan and Andrew Huberman talking about the benefits of repeated cold exposure and it is real. You feel so amazing after you've done it. And the improvement in your mood is insane. So if you've been thinking that you want to get started doing cold therapy, but you cannot be bothered going to the store to get yourself ice every single time you need to do it, this is for you. Also, they've just released their own sauna, which is ridiculously high quality as well. And we are bouncing between the two doing what's called contrast therapy, which makes you feel even better. So, yeah, if you're looking to make a change, if you're looking to get yourself a cold plunge or a sauna for your house, this is the place to go. Best of all, they've got a 30-day money-back guarantee, so you can buy it and try it for 29 days. And if you do not like it, they will give you your money back.
